A Simple Life is Anything But Simple

Wholesome

This guy works way too hard to make his life simple. Pure nonsense, well done. His white pants stay clean while everything around him is dirty. He can't be bothered to brush his own teeth, but builds a stove with a hammer and chisel. And what's the deal with the toilet? But the parts you'll really remember are the video effects involving the chicken and the fish. Yeah, it's actually a rooster, but let's not quibble over details. The details are what makes this funny.

This is Hong Kong YouTuber GuiGe doing a parody of all those "rural life in China" videos. The sequence above is an excerpt from a much longer video called Mama Rong's Rural Life, featuring his mother. The weirdness of contrasting primitive and technical elements, the special effects, and the complete absurdity of it all will keep you watching. The song is "Aloha Heja He" by German singer Achim Reichel. -via reddit

The many comments at reddit. I am no chicken expert.

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

The picture on the chain appears to be of a rooster but there's no indication that I can see that the hen laying the eggs is actually a rooster. Presumably the purpose of the picture is as an "inspirational" pinup. It's a common myth that hens need roosters to be present in order to lay but there's no truth to it.
What indicates to you that the egg-layer in the video is a rooster?
